When the plate array in the Hexi Corridor rotates together with the blades of coastal wind turbines, the chassis of China Electric Power has been redefined. The total installed capacity has climbed up to 4 billion kilowatts, with wind and solar leading the expansion. However, the decline in equipment utilization hours reflects a silent energy revolution with abundant supply and lighter structure.

On July 22, 2026, the National Energy Administration announced the national electricity operation statistics from January to June 2026. By the end of June, the total installed capacity of various types of power generation equipment in China had reached 4.04 billion kilowatts, an increase of 10.8% compared to the same period last year. In terms of segmented categories, the installed capacity of solar power generation reached 1.27 billion kilowatts, an increase of 15.8% year-on-year; The total installed capacity of wind power is 680 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 18.5%, and the expansion momentum of two types of new energy is strong. In the first half of 2026, the average operating time of power generation units nationwide was 1392 hours, a decrease of 113 hours compared to the same period last year.Editor/Gong Ziwei
